Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia (FMVZ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Veterinarian graduated by the Universidade de São Paulo. Master's and PhD in Epidemiology and One Health from the University of São Paulo. He is currently an Associate Professor at FMVZ-USP, responsible for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. He collaborates with the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change in drawing up public policies at the federal, state and municipal levels. He currently works in the area of biodiversity conservation, especially the mitigation of threats, whether due to biological invasion, transmission of pathogens and parasites or environmental changes. He is the coordinator of the National Biodiversity Biorepository (BIONABIO), a collaborative network of actors involved with fauna, with the aim of promoting the surveillance of emerging pathogens and the prevention of new pandemics.

From the 180 Brazilian bat species (Order Chiroptera), 46,7% can occur in urban areas, although little is known about the influence of these environments on species' ecology, and there are no published works about urban bat community structure in Brazil to date. The urbanization process, however, may potentially lead to important ecological changes on intra and interspecific pathogenic tr…
The University of São Paulo Campus is located in the urban area of the city of Sao Paulo, with almost 4,2 million square meters, where almost 100 thousand people circulate, daily. Despite being walled, the Campus has access gates to pedestrians and vehicles. The university community has contact with stray dogs, therefore, exposed to the risk of zoonosis transmission, bite aggression and t…
The present work shows a qualitative approach to evaluate the risk of rabies virus circulation in domestic herbivore population in Paraíba do Sul River Valley, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. Scenario trees will be built, according to rabies exposure and diffusion, in order to estimate rabies occurrence in the herbivore population. This probability will be associated to geographic location of fa…
The coordination of different institutions and actors is essential for the prevention of future pandemics. The Covid-19 pandemic, however, has revealed a major deficiency in centralizing efforts for epidemiological surveillance of the virus, as well as combating the disease. Contact between wild animals and humans is one of the main triggers of pandemics and, especially in places of high …
The Fernando de Noronha National Marine Park is an important breeding site for several species of birds, as well as habitat for endemic reptiles. All these native species are suffering the negative impacts of the presence of invasive animals brought from the continent, as the domestic cat and the Tegu lizard (Tupinambis merianae). It is believed that extinction of the only endemic mammal …
Much has been said about the impact of human activity. However, little is known about the impacts that domestic animals that invade forest environments along with humans have caused to wild animals. The close relationship between domestic animals and wild animals can result in transmission of disease from one group to another, despite of providing an increased competition for wild and ant…
Brazil faces new challenges in infectious diseases control, since foot-and-mouth disease, brucellosis, tuberculosis and even rabies are still endemic. The developed countries are already wondering how to access the environmental impact of the livestock and the welfare constraints in production systems, Brazil is still struggling with infectious diseases that most of the importer countries…

The tick Amblyomma ovale is a vector of pathogenic bacteria of the Rickettsia spp pathogenic agent responsible for human cases of Brazilian spotted fever in the north coast of São Paulo. Domestic dogs, tick hosts, are found in forested areas of the National Park Serra do Mar -Caraguatatuba. However, we do not know the exact role of the dog neither in the epidemiology of this zoonosis nor …
